Should the U.S. House OK the Senate’s immigration bill?

That’s the challenge now on the table, and it could decide the future of the Republican Party. As The Week reported,

“The Senate voted on Thursday to approve the most sweeping overhaul of the nation’s immigration system in a generation, sending a wide-ranging bill on to the House, where it faces a far less certain future. By a vote of 68-32, the Senate approved the so-called Gang of Eight‘s massive reform bill, which would offer undocumented workers living in the U.S. with a pathway to citizenship, and impose tough new border security measures.

” … It is the citizenship provision that proved most thorny in Senate discussions, and that could ultimately down the bill in the House. Many conservative members of Congress have balked outright at any bill that contains what they say amounts to amnesty for illegal immigrants. Though the Republican Party conceded in a post-election autopsy report that it needed to better court minority voters, many party leaders have still resisted the immigration reform efforts on principle.”

Whaddya think?

— Vote it down or send it to the president so he can sign it into law?

— What parts of it, if any, should be amended?

— Will Republicans harm their chances to attract Hispanic voters if the House kills this bill?
